342 A HISTORY OP SHORTHORNS IN KANSAS 



J. G. Bobbins & Son bull, Golden Dutchman. 



One of the bulls used was Magnet Searchlight 

 by Searchlight out of a cow by Prince Pavonia, 

 the two bulls that established C. S. Nevius as a 

 breeder. The second dam of Magnet Searchlight 

 came through imp. Golden Gem 2d and Lord 

 Lovel. The present herd bull is an excellent one, 

 New Year's Emblem, bred by T. J. Dawe & Son, 

 by Diamond Emblem, their show bull by Dia- 

 mond Goods out of a dam by imp. Collynie. New 

 Year's Emblem's dam is Sobriety 8th by imp. 

 Strowan Star out of imp. Sobriety 2d. (See 

 Dawe sketch.) This bull is not only a good in- 

 dividual but it will be noted he is of great an- 

 cestry and he is proving a fine breeder. 



The Libel herd, as a whole, impressed me 

 very favorably, not only as consisting of a lot of 

 valuable cattle, but also because surrounding 

 conditions indicated almost certain success. 



E. A. Myers, Troy. Both Mr. and Mrs. Myers 

 know good Shorthorns and a visit with them con- 

 vinced me that they understood how to handle 

 their cattle. Mrs. Myers is a daughter of T. J. 

 Dawe and is as much interested in Shorthorns as 

 any other member of the Dawe family. The 

 start was made two years ago by the purchase of 

 five desirable COWE from the Dawe herd and they 

 now have fifteen females. Autumn Queen Rose 

 is by imp. Strowan Star out of Autumn Queen 

 by Baron Kear 2d and comes from H. H.
